1 Chronicles 14
1 And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.
Basi Hiramu mfalme wa Tiro akawatuma wajumbe kwa Daudi, wakiwa na magogo ya mierezi, waashi na maseremala ili kumjengea jumba la kifalme.
2 And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.
Naye Daudi akatambua kwamba Bwana amemwimarisha kuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli na kwamba ufalme wake umetukuzwa kwa ajili ya Israeli, watu wake.
3 And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
Huko Yerusalemu Daudi akaoa wake wengine zaidi na akawa baba wa wana na mabinti wengi.
4 and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
Haya ndiyo majina ya watoto waliozaliwa kwake huko: Shamua, Shobabu, Nathani, Solomoni,
5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
Ibihari, Elishua, Elpeleti,
6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Noga, Nefegi, Yafia,
7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
Elishama, Beeliada na Elifeleti.
8 And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
Wafilisti waliposikia kuwa Daudi ametiwa mafuta kuwa mfalme wa Israeli yote, wakapanda na jeshi lao lote kwenda kumsaka, lakini Daudi akapata habari hizo, naye akatoka ili kwenda kukabiliana nao.
9 And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
Basi Wafilisti walikuwa wameingia na kushambulia Bonde la Warefai,
10 and David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
Hivyo Daudi akamuuliza Mungu: “Je, niende kuwashambulia hao Wafilisti? Je, utawatia mikononi mwangu?” Bwana akamjibu, “Nenda, nitawatia mikononi mwako.”
11 And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
Hivyo Daudi pamoja na watu wake wakakwea mpaka Baal-Perasimu, akawashinda huko. Akasema, “Kama maji yafurikavyo, Mungu amewafurikia adui zangu kwa kutumia mkono wangu.” Kwa hiyo mahali pale pakaitwa Baal-Perasimu.
12 And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
Wafilisti walikuwa wameacha miungu yao huko, Daudi akaamuru iteketezwe kwa moto.
13 And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
Kwa mara nyingine Wafilisti wakavamia lile bonde;
14 and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
hivyo Daudi akamuuliza Mungu tena, naye Mungu akamjibu, “Usiwapandie moja kwa moja, bali wazungukie na uwashambulie kutoka mbele ya hiyo miti ya miforosadi.
15 and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
Mara usikiapo sauti ya kwenda juu ya hiyo miti ya miforosadi, hapo ndipo utoke upigane vita, kwa sababu hiyo itaonyesha kwamba Mungu amekutangulia ili kupiga jeshi la Wafilisti.”
16 And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
Kwa hiyo Daudi akafanya kama alivyoagizwa na Mungu, wakalipiga jeshi la Wafilisti kuanzia Gibeoni hadi Gezeri.
17 and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
Hivyo umaarufu wa Daudi ukaenea katika kila nchi, naye Bwana akayafanya mataifa yote kumwogopa Daudi.
